OT: Brazilian Launch Facility

[Loser]

Thanks, Makinus. I finally managed to get to the Factbook and read up on Brazil a bit. It is very good to see the structure of your government and especially the divided legislature, absent from so many developed countries and world powers. I hope your people are able to deal with the corruption in government without abandoning your 1988 constitution.

I also admire the popular election of your president. I never much cared for the Electoral College in the U.S, since we assume the popular choice will be elected, indeed many states specify how their College member vote based on the popular vote and the number of such members is determined by population... so why is it not a popular vote? Not a big deal, but really...
